I met Kevin ten years ago when I was heading HR for Sony Picture Entertainment’s Digital Studio Division. Since, he has been a great business colleague and advisor. He has a wonderful, professional and cordial communication style, and he has a huge network of senior level executives in the LA area and beyond. Kevin is very well versed in both HR and general business matters, and his consulting firm is excellent.
